The SDSU football team will kick off the action on Saturday as they take on the Golden Gophers at TCF Bank Stadium. This game will mark the first meeting between the two teams since 2009, with the Jackrabbits looking to make a statement against their Big Ten opponent.
Following the football game, the SDSU men’s and women’s basketball teams will travel to St. Paul to take on the St. Thomas Tommies. This will be the first time that the Jackrabbits have faced the Tommies in basketball since St. Thomas transitioned to Division I athletics.
